Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit qualifying evidence to meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO also concurred with the director's final merits determination that the petitioner did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or prove he is one of the small percentage who have risen to the very top of his field as a singer and performer.
